According to Christian dogma, they’re both going. But, if you absolutely don’t believe in Christianity, you can’t go to hell, because by definition and by the nature of belief you can’t go somewhere you don’t believe in.

The serial killer’s going because they believe in Christ and haven’t obeyed the Ten Commandments.

Telling an atheist they’re going to hell is an empty threat.

You're wrong, If the serial killer believes in Jesus and has accepted Him as Lord and Savior, He's not going to hell but has passed from death to life. Therefore he's a new man in Jesus Christ and has been forgiven of all he's done. He will not kill anymore.

Since there are no such people that are atheists, this line is empty in itself. However, the skeptics disbelief in hell doesn't change the fact that there is a hell as well as there is a heaven. Disbelief in the one true God, Jehovah, doesn't make Him go away, it just means that your disbelief is only your opinion and not actual truth.

@GodSpeed63 what do you mean by saying there are no such things as atheists? I am an atheist.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@VSonMe Not according to the 'atheist code.' As long as you're alive, you're going to believe in some type of god or idol instead of the one true God, Jehovah. You'll put your trust and faith into that god or idol which could be anything.

@GodSpeed63 wtf are you on about? What atheist code? An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in any god. That's what atheist means. I don't believe any gods exist. I am an atheist. Religion plays no part in my life.

@GodSpeed63 It is also only your opinion that the god, Jehovah, exists...

That's the code I was referring to. The skeptic is a religious person who worships any god or idol other than the one true God, Jehovah, whether they realize it or not.

If it was my opinion, I'd say you'd have some merit, but it's not opinion. What are you basing your conclusion on? How do you know it's just my opinion?

@GodSpeed63 You just expressed it...

"Disbelief in the one true God, Jehovah, doesn't make Him go away, it just means that your disbelief is only your opinion and not actual truth."

Conversely, your belief is only YOUR opinion, and not the actual truth...

No, that's bullshit. I am not religious at all. I worship nothing. Gods do not exist. You are deluded.

Anyway, the name "Jehovah" is a transliteration by Christian scholars in the Middle Ages of the "name", "Yahweh", which is actually a statement, "I am who I am"... (Exodus 3:14)

@walabby You still need to answer my questions.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@VSonMe You just confirmed what I said.
walabby · 61-69, M
@GodSpeed63 You say that it's not your opinion, that it's the Truth.. Actually, it's only your opinion that it's the Truth... :/

@walabby You still haven't answered my questions.

@GodSpeed63 Get over it!

I take it you don't know then? It figures.
